People can't handle others freedom of speech as it is. And with how many speaking mistakes we all make in a lifetime - there is no cost to speech that is affordable for anyone. They'd lose their sanity attempting to share free thought. Don't let totalitarianism take away the only things you actually own - choices, like what you share with the world, and what ideas shooting about your head are worth indulging - because everyone gets screwy thoughts, its how your personal identity filters them and ranks their validity and importance that matters - and that is entirely for the individual to weigh and decide. Because you can't learn otherwise, and nobody starts at the finish with no learning. All these modern movements are nothing but thoughtless emotional knee jerks free of any kind of logical assessment of whether we can even actually live that way. Modernists believe we haven't figured life out a LONG long time ago, they think this "age of technology" changes things - it doesn't change anything at all in the base make-up of the animal we are. Evolution is physiological - not behavioural. And you can't just turn a switch and say "know our minds will work like this" - its just braindead nonsense purported by fools and the control class to keep the sheep asleep at the trough.

@@taliakellegg5978 It won't, because user adoption would be minimal compared to the mainstream engines. Much in the way of how Linux has a very very small % of marketshare in PCs, adopting the decentralized engine will prive you from many features the mainstream ones (windows in Linux's case) can offer, which in turn will be it's downfall since the average user simply won't give those up or know better. Much like how Tom says on the video, the mainstream engines share data amongst themselves so decentralization in terms of competition won't do much because if there are additional engines they'll be either sharing data and be mostly the same thing or be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

And while that doesn't say anything about the probability of any such scenario happening, I believe it comes down to a believable presentation, not necessarily the content itself.

Great talk, but disagree about the keyboard becoming niche. My prediction: until a reliable BCI (brain-computer interface) is made, keyboards will remain pretty much exactly like they are right now. Typing is the most comfortable way to get precise data from your brain into a regular PC. Think about it: would you write a novel, blog, or computer program using your voice? No. Even if it is "faster" to speak than type, it just doesn't feel as natural or comfortable when you're trying to choose your words carefully.

I would use all my influence to prevent such a brain network. The only thing i would endorse would be a completely decentralized system with a weak proposal system that lets trough unfiltered input, a social obligation to still teach independant thinking basics and strict encryption, no involuntary position tracking and anonymous ad profiles.
